1848: The Revolution of the Intellectuals

Lewis Namier With a new introduction by James Joll

Description

Concentrating on the revolutions of central and eastern Europe, Namier explains in this reissue of his famous essay how 1848 inaugurated a new age, not of liberalism as the revolutionaries hoped, but of nationalism. With a new introduction by Joll, this book not only sheds light on the year 1848 itself but also fresh insights into historical forces still at work in our own time.
